Pleasing the Master

Proverbs 25:13
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

So is a faithful messenger to them that send him

The thought struck me that this verse could be applied to our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He sends us as messengers of the good news of salvation.

When we are faithful to that calling, it is as if we "refresh the soul" of our Saviour.
John 15:2
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (KJV)

John 15:8
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. (KJV)

Rom 10:15
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (KJV)

God is so pleased, so blessed when we who are His serve as faithful messengers to His Gospel.
